Make Your Own Bones
Nothingface Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you're innocent no more
You'll see in time that you're not immortal
I see right through you
You cannot live inside yourself
You cannot lie forever
We see right through you

It's everything you know about, you say it's true
But still I know abouy your ways, so fuck you
But still you've done it everything, well I've done it twice
But there's something else that's coming
So hold your breath
Well I know that you're perfect, so raise your hands
And we know that you're nothing, show us again
But still I can't believe the pain that you caused
And still I know about your ways, so fuck you

You hold your head up and deny
You realize that you're not all moral
They see right through you
You'll cheat and lie until you're dead
You cannot live forever
Disease runs through you
'Listen carefully'

It's everything you know about, you say it's true
But still I know abouy your ways, so fuck you
But still you've done it everything, well I've done it twice
But there's something else that's coming
So hold your breath
Well I know that you're perfect, so raise your hands
And we know that you're nothing, show us again
But still I can't believe the pain that you caused
And still I know about your ways, so fuck you

I faked it all
Then and always




Inside and out
We'll forget you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nothingface's song Make Your Own Bones speak to the idea of seeing through someone and their actions. The song is about how we can't hide who we are forever and eventually our true selves will be exposed. The opening lines "I know you're innocent no more / You'll see in time that you're not immortal" indicate that the singer has become aware of something that the other person is trying to hide. They see right through this person and know that they can't live inside themselves or continue to lie forever. The line "We see right through you" emphasizes that this is not an individual assessment but a collective one.


The refrain of the song has the lines "It's everything you know about, you say it's true / But still I know about your ways, so fuck you." The singer is calling out the person's hypocrisy and their tendency to deny the truth about themselves. The lines "Well I know that you're perfect, so raise your hands / And we know that you're nothing, show us again" are sarcastic and highlight the hollowness of this person's actions. The line "But still I can't believe the pain that you caused" is a reminder that our actions have consequences and how we treat others matters.


The song's overall message is that we should be honest with ourselves and others about who we are. We can't hide behind a facade forever, and eventually, we will be exposed. The line "We'll forget you" at the end emphasizes that if someone is not authentic in their actions, they will be forgotten and won't be remembered for anything.
